screener

Vetting process person

A screener is a person or device that screens—examining things to filter, sort, or evaluate them.

Airport screeners check passengers and luggage.

In hiring, a screener conducts initial interviews to narrow candidates.

A screener is also an advance copy of a film sent to critics or award voters before general release: Oscar screeners leaked online again this year.
